Old school is the Nuskool. Australia’s DiiSTORTiiON reminisces about the past and the heyday of Breaks with this new mix of Classic Breakbeat.

“So it recently dawned on me that this year marks 10 years since I had my first support gig at Ambar back in 2006 playing before Dopamine – 10 bloody years!! Since then music has taken me all over Australia and overseas and allowed me to connect with people all over the world that would have never been possible had it not been for our mutual interest in music.

So I think it’s about time I did a mix paying tribute to that awesome time in my life – the gigs/parties/after parties/boat parties and festivals.Flashing back to 2004 – 2006 I couldn’t get away without paying respect to Kid Kenobi who single handedly got me and most of the people I know into Djing at the time. I learnt to mix by listening to his breaks mixes on repeat.

So this mix is as much a tribute to him as it is to the talented artists included in it.

Enjoy!” – DiiSTORTiiON
